Epic's Mark Rein takes the opportunity to talk about the next update for the development studio's latest shooter Gears of War 2. Here's a snip from the Gears forums:

We’re fixing a whole bunch of online exploits. For example we’ve fixed the ability to wield an invisible shield, melee through some walls, gain infinite Lancer ammo and equip a shield and a two-handed weapon simultaneously plus many more.

We’re also making several small changes to improve the overall online gameplay experience. A few of the ones that might interest you are; increased penalties for quitting matches early, adding additional spawn protection against planted grenades and chainsaw attacks, and adding the ability to see the Submission flag carrier destination by using Tac/Com.

Gears 2 was one of the best titles in 2008. I'm really looking forward to a potential sequel; whenever they decide to make it, that is. Given the success of the original and GoW 2, I doubt they'll wait long before they announced GoW 3.
